Enerlogics Selected to Administer Duquesne Demand Management Program

November 2016

Duquesne Light has partnered with Enerlogics to help with the Demand Response Program.

Demand Response is a mechanism whereby facilities curtail power use during period of grid emergencies or peak power grid prices. By reducing electricity usage during these grid events, facilities can earn money to help reduce strain on the electric grid.

Execution years are for summer 2017 through summer 2020. Your facility must be able to perform for one or more of the execution years.

Performance Season is June 1 through September 30.

Event days are limited to weekdays (no holidays or weekend days will be event days).

Notification of event day is provided on a day-ahead basis by 12:00 noon eastern the day prior to the event.

Event Duration is four (4) consecutive hours to include the hours that the day’s forecasted peak hours are >96% of the PJM RTO summer peak demand forecast.

Number of events: Maximum of six (6) events per year. If the day ahead forecast does not reach the 96% trigger, then no events are called.

Co-participation: Customers may participate in both the PJM ELRP and Duquesne DR programs. However customers participating in both programs will have a 50% reduction in the Duquesne Demand Response incentives.

What are the Incentive Rates for Participation?Duquesne’s Demand Response program provides attractive incentives for facility participation. Incentive rates are based on various considerations including the amount of curtailment your facility can deliver, how many events your facility can participate in, and whether your facility is also enrolled in the PJM ELRP Program.

What else do I need to know?Your facility can participate in the both the Duquesne WattChoices Energy Efficiency Incentive Programs for incentives related to energy efficiency projects as well as the Duquesne Demand Response Program for demand response activity. Your facility is eligible for the Duquesne incentive programs as long as your electric delivery is from Duquesne, in other words even if your electricity supply is from a different provider, you are still eligible for the Duquesne Demand Response incentive program.
